Its soft green has a delightful translucence and shimmer, yet not ethereal. There is something wonderfully, gently earthy about it, too. This isn't a crystal with an energy that jumps right out at me but one that invites me in to learn more, and I look forward to that journey.

Garnierite
Energy Vibrations

Most Garnierite is mined in New Caladonia, a French island territory in the South Pacific, but these pretty little gems are from the island nation of Madagascar in the South Indian Ocean. These spheres of Garnierite are perfect for getting you out of a rut and rolling along again.

Garnierite from Madagascar

This Garnierite comes from artisanal miners working the Valozoro lateritic nickel deposit, in Haute Matsiastra, Madagascar.  Garneirite is fragile and has to be mined using hand-tools, while Nickel mining is typically done on an industrial-scale as a pit mine.

This lapidary hand polishes stones in Antananarivo, Madagascar. It is a woman-owned and family-run business. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at one major gem show in the United States. Every year the lapidary takes on a major charity project at a rural school. Previous projects have included installing bathrooms, creating a playground, and building a sunshelter for parents.

I first met the owner of the lapidary at the 2006 Gem and Mineral show in Tucson, Arizona. At that time I was working for a crystal shop in Utah and was at Tucson primarily as a “pack mule” to help carry all the stones. It was generally agreed by our crew that the “Madagascar” tent contained the most beautiful stones in the entire show.

In 2014, I embarked on my first buying trip for Moonrise Crystals. The company I knew of only as “Madagascar” was the one company I was most determined to find and buy from. This lapidary company only sells at a handful of major gem shows. The only time they are in the USA is for the Tucson Gem Show. During the rest of the year, the lapidary hand polishes their stock and also does charity work in their local community. They continue to offer some of the most beautiful tumbled stones in the industry and are among my favorite suppliers.

In 2019, Moonrise Crystals and the Madagascar lapidary company joined together to financially support a rural school in Madagascar. In 2022, we plan to build a library with books in Malagassi and French.

Garnierite Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published March 2021  •  Updated February 2024  •  Read Time: 7 minutes
Garnierite is a beautiful ore rock for Nickel and Platinum.  Most Garnierite comes from industrial Nickle mines, but it is occasionally found by artisanal miners. While it can be found in a few locations, most of it comes from New Caledonia, a French territory in the South Pacific.  Garnierite has a delicate pastel green color that comes from the Nickle content.  It is sometimes sold under as “Green Moonstone”, because it occasionally has a subtle iridescence, but it is not at all related to other varieties of Moonstone.  Garnierite has a refreshing energy that helps us feel connected to the natural world, empowered and optimistic.

    I’m extremely pleased, this may be my best purchase from you yet. I absolutely love the Garnierite…it has such a quirky shape and intriguing, Garnieriteish coloration, with exactly the sort of wise old energy I asked for. Thank you very much for these great selections, they are wonderful additions to my collection.
